Excellent reading, perfect tones, elucidated, without interference to the poem, which brings the meaning to the listener. Your voice is perfectly sonorous for reading aloud, without vocal infractions to distract. You might find a bunch of poets with their books and recorders on your doorstep, asking for you to read.
Your reading of this poem sent shivers up, down and through my my soul. You have a lovely reading voice and now I’m going to look for more recordings. Thank you.
